24 alternatives to CodePrompt – a UI for loading code repos into GPT prompts

Hi HN, I'm Chun Rapeepat. Last week I started playing with GPT-4 and tried different ways to use it to optimize my dev workflow. It was fun, and I was just blown away by what GPT-4 can do. The idea of CodePrompt first came to mind when I read "Show HN: GPT Repo Loader – load entire code repos into GPT prompts" [1]. It was precisely what I wanted to do! So I tried it. The GPT Repo Loader works pretty well on a small codebase; However, due to its limitations in loading all files and content into the prompt, I still ran into token context limit issues and needed to copy/edit the code…

Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. CodePrompt – a UI for loading code repos into GPT prompts launched in 2023; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    I was getting tired of copy/pasting reams of code into GPT-4 to give it context before I asked it to help me, so I started this small tool. In a nutshell, gpt-repository-loader will spit out file paths and file contents in a prompt-friendly format. You can also use .gptignore to ignore files/folders that are irrelevant to your prompt. gpt-repository-loader as-is works pretty well in helping me achieve better responses. Eventually, I thought it would be cute to load itself into GPT-4 and have GPT-4 improve it. I was honestly surprised by PR#17. GPT-4 was able to write a valid an…

    Hi HN, I've been working on an experimental tool that helps you use GPT to work on your codebase. I'd love to improve the tool if there's interest. New ideas welcome! I think this could also be useful for experimenting with other types of recursive prompts. It’s a little bit Swiss Army knife and a little bit skynet: https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr From the README: Promptr is a CLI tool for operating on your codebase using GPT. Promptr dynamically includes one or more files into your GPT prompts, and it can optionally parse and apply the changes that GPT suggests to…

    Hey HN! I recently built Prompt Reducer, an app that makes it easier to compress GPT-4 prompts. The main goal is to reduce the number of tokens in each prompt, thereby reducing the cost of running GPT-4. I figured since @gfodor tweeted about compressing GPT-4. It’s still early, and it does not work perfectly, but I’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions for how to make it faster or more efficient.

    Hi HN, I’ve been spending a lot of time vibe-coding with LLMs and kept running into the same bottleneck: translating a vague idea into a prompt that produces usable output without multiple correction cycles. Most of the time wasn’t spent coding, but refining prompts. Adding constraints, clarifying intent, restating context, fixing assumptions. It felt like a repeatable preprocessing problem rather than something that should require manual effort every time. So I built a small tool that takes rough, unstructured input and rewrites it into a more explicit, structured prompt optimized for…

When OpenAI released GPTs earlier this month, we built one to answer questions about our growing codebase. It worked so well that we decided to open source the utility for other dev teams How it works: -…

    Hey, fellow hackers! I'm excited to share my latest project, TinyCodeImprover, which has become an indispensable tool in my coding workflow. What is TinyCodeImprover? TinyCodeImprover leverages the power of GPT-4 to analyze and enhance your project files. By simply loading your code into the GPT-4 context, you can ask questions about your code, identify bugs, and even request GPT-4 to write code snippets across multiple files simultaneously. The Story Behind its Creation As a programmer, I frequently turn to GPT-4 for assistance with topics outside my expertise. However, I found the process…

    Hi HN, I recently built PromptForge — a minimal, developer-first web app that helps you generate high-quality GPT prompts from just a few structured fields. Why? As a developer, I often found myself rewriting similar prompts manually. I wanted a faster and more reliable way to generate optimized prompts for various tasks — coding, debugging, idea generation, etc. So I built a tool that combines structure, speed, and simplicity. What it does: Select a use case (e.g. summarization, code explanation) Fill out a few fields (context, tone, output format) Get a clean, optimized prompt Save, reuse,…

    Hi everyone, We built a quick experiment this weekend that allows you to use GPT4 to quickly generate shareable web apps that use the ChatGPT API. Here’s a video of me building an app similar to https://whatdoesthiscodedo.com/: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpvGd21V0u0 "What does this code do?" went to #1 on Hacker News a couple of months ago. The app takes a piece of code, asks GPT4 to analyze it and returns a simple, English description of the code. An app like this is super simple to build with MetaGPT. What other kinds of things can you build with this? *…

    I'm building an AI platform, FlowChai and found a neat use case for it today that I thought would be useful to HN readers. I use GPT4 heavily for writing / editing code, but a major downside is that it doesn't know about new projects. I made the connection today that I could upload the zip file of a Github repo to FlowChai and then write prompts just like with ChatGPT with code questions. While the original intent for this platform is more around natural language, it's neat how this works so well. It's powered underneath by pgvector and OpenAI embeddings.
